Pret reducing prices to compete with Greggs during lunchtime

Pret has started slashing prices in response to the rising cost of living in order to compete with its rivals.

Eight sandwiches are available for as little as £2.99 in the chain's Made Simple line. The meal deal, which includes four vegan products, is part of Pret’s new range to help customers spend less.

Pret has also launched a £5 baguette deal for January - customers are now able to buy any full-size baguette with Pret’s crisps or popcorn for £5.

The move will spark a price war with its rival Greggs, as both companies stare down the barrel of double-digit inflation.

However, Pret will still be more expensive than Greggs.

What is on Pret’s menu?

The Made Simple Granary Sandwich range - egg mayo, BLT, tuna and cucumber, mature cheddar and pickles, chicken salad, ham salad, ham and cheese, and hummus and vegetables, with prices starting from £2.99.

Chicken & Avo Protein Box - British chicken served with sliced avocado, soy edamame beans, spinach, free-range hard-boiled eggs, and a lemon wedge, along with a drizzle of French dressing and sesame seeds.

The PLT (vegan) - Malted bread, roasted shiitake, chestnut mushroom rashers, sliced tomatoes, salad greens, a dollop of vegan black pepper, and parsley mayo.

Plant Ploughmans Baguette (vegan) - Smoky vegan cheese accompanied by hot chipotle ketchup and pickled mustard, finished with salad mix, red onion slices, and roasted tomatoes in Pret's white baguette.

Spicy No’Duja Toasted Focaccia (vegan) - Rosemary focaccia filled with red pesto, mushroom No'duja, smoky vegan cheeze, red pepper, and fresh basil leaves.

Spicy No’Duja and Tomato Macaroni (vegan) - Pasta tubetti rigati with red pesto, roasted red pepper sauce, spinach, and tomatoes, finished with a layer of panko breadcrumbs and a mushroom No'Duja topping.

Bacon & Egg Breakfast Beans Box - Breakfast beans with beechwood smoked bacon, roasted mushrooms, and a soft poached egg.
